  1. rims look awesome but would just push out a bit to be square with the body. Looks like Toyo's as well....my favourite. KW kit for me next to control that floaty back end. It is a lot but I'm told the handling transformation is awesome without affecting the ride. I'm not interested in lowering it, just want better mechanical grip from the rear. Any bumps mid-corner lifts the wheels on std suspension. Use it everyday so have to be able to get over speed bumps without crawling.
  2. Manual says it must be run on 98 (super) at all times. Should only use 95 (std unld) in emergencies and then only half a tank, filling up with 98 asap. The system log/ECU will probably record what your using and warranty claims could be refused if you use 95 on a regular basis bearing in mind what Nissan can be like under big warranty issues. They've put it in the manual for a reason, even if the reason is just to get out of big engine claims.

  4. Just don't go asking for 3 pints of 'Heavy'.
  5. Zinc is opposite PRINTWORKS, and one of the first decent bars on edge of town near MEN arena. Part of the 'Triangle' centre. Start there as an easy meeting point and then Mancs' yer oyster.
  6. Soooooooo funny and even sweeter as I'm a Utd fan ( and from Manchester !)
  7. I'll probably be able to keep you company! Stan - give my mobile a text when you have sorted out venue. What about Zinc bar to start off ? I can make it for around 7 - 7.30 with a bit of luck.
  8. Thanks. PM sent back. They're yours. Thats got to be the quickest sale ever of a set of rays, looks like we will be doing some packing Once again thanks Phil. Jonathan will contact you in the morning ( Newsweller ). I have sent you an email about finer details. Hopefully it will be OK. If not just give me a call. Looks like I'm nearer to my next visit !!
  9. I have a full set of as new rays ( slight 1" kerb damage on front offside ) with tyres and Z valve caps. They're at ESR, Big Phil is going to do photos if anyone wants to view. They were waxed and protected from new 5 months ago. Tyres have very little wear. Only done 5k easy miles. For quick sale £400. Big Phil can post out at £36 for the set to most places in UK. Tyres would cost that alone.
  10. Have faith! Now imagine how much better the front speakers would sound if you did the same to the doors.... Not very practical. Don't think I could get trim off and then put back. Taking a sub-speaker out by 4 screws was about my limit. Unless you know a very easy and foolproof way ?
  11. Should have reported back sooner. I did try it. One square piece behind subwoofer - seemed a bit lost in there but I trusted advice. Also got another square and cut little bits off to stick in a few loose gaps where two rear speakers are just above. Sounds a million miles better. Base now thumps into my back and there are no rattles. TOP MAN. All for £20 ! Thought I was in for a whole new ICE kit.
  12. Haven´t seen that on my MY05 Roadster. In spain at minute so can´t check. I´m sure someone will know what it is and respond very soon.
  13. But it is fab and hope you have a great time. Bit dissappointed with the cave hotel though. If you haven't bothered, don't ! V. expensive and V basic.
  14. Let's do it Thursday 5th ! Set a date is always best. Sooner the better. Fot hose that can't make it, we'll just do it again soon after !
  15. Either of those dates good for me. Let me know by text as I'm on hols from tomorrow and only get back on Thurs 5th. I'll PM you with mobile.
  16. I'm with shire. looks great, not for my roadster though.
  17. I'd love to defend you, and your a great guy, but having met you and your MX-5 in the flesh I'm struggling. I have 3 gay mates and you make them look like Rugby loving, Beer swilling monsters. Be proud of your true self.
  18. Stan, count me in. just don't do it until at least next Friday as I fly off to Sapin for a week tomorrow and will be peeved if I miss it.
  19. Got one. And your right. People just love it so far. Bronze for extra effect with internal leather to match. Just in case people might miss me BigPhil will be fitting a K1 in a couple of weeks to make sure they don't !! Better change your sig then Looking forward to changing it after Big Phil has worked his magic. Was going for the Nismo until I heard that K1. Since I'm going all that way I am having 19" Nismos with Toyos fitted and a Varis CF lip spoiler.............bloody Wales meet got ideas in my head and is going to end up costing me a fortune. Mind you trying calling this roadster gay after that.....well Butch !
  20. Stan - sounds good. Pick a weekend when it's going to be OK and send the PM's out.
  21. I joined late last eyar when I got mine. Was at the Wales meet and hopeful a lot more. Fairly local to you as well ! Best looking ragtop my money would buy - I mean a TT or Z4, I don't think so. Happy to fly the flag ( so long as it's not a rainbow coloured one )
  22. TIGGER Orange and black. Loads of fun and very tail happy !

  24. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Zed. Especially as it looks differrent to anything else in the class. And yes, 911's are just so old hat now and fail to raise a glance. But........having a rich mate who bought a brand new 911 turbo last year....I have got to say that you wouldn't sell it if you ever drove it first. The speed and acceleration is just mind blowing and a lot easier to get down with 4x4 drive. Honest, I'd look a wan**r all day long if I could have that power and control on tap. Or rather I would have, until his latest car. Brand new Gallardo. Now at least that looks and sounds as good as it goes. So maybe you could be right about the 911 after all.
